NAME

       seq - print a sequence of numbers

SYNOPSIS

       seq [OPTION]... LAST
       seq [OPTION]... FIRST LAST
       seq [OPTION]... FIRST INCREMENT LAST

DESCRIPTION

       Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INCREMENT.

       -f, --format=FORMAT
              use printf style floating-point FORMAT

       -s, --separator=STRING
              use STRING to separate numbers (default: \n)

       -w, --equal-width
              equalize width by padding with leading zeroes

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       If  FIRST  or  INCREMENT  is  omitted,  it  defaults to 1.  That is, an
       omitted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller  than  FIRST.
       FIRST,  INCREMENT,  and  LAST are interpreted as floating point values.
       INCREMENT is usually positive  if  FIRST  is  smaller  than  LAST,  and
       INCREMENT  is  usually  negative if FIRST is greater than LAST.  FORMAT
       must be suitable  for  printing  one  argument  of  type  ‘double’;  it
       defaults  to  %.PRECf if FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are all fixed point
       decimal numbers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
